replacing the toner cartridges, making it a much more complicated process than
most other Brother designed printers.

There are several cartridge models for the Brother HL-2170W
printer model – TN330, TN360, TN360 Jumbo Yield, and DR360. The regular yield toner
can print up to 2,600 pages at 5% coverage. The jumbo yield TN360 toner can
print up to 5,200 pages at 5% coverage. The drum can last up to 12,000 pages at
5% coverage. Users can seek for high quality re-manufactured cartridges at an
affordable price to save more on printing expenses. In fact, a well made
compatible cartridge should work as well as name brand counterparts. In
addition, the use of compatible cartridges does not void the Brother HL-2170W
printer warranty.
